Good job South Dakotans!! The CDC has released the latest obesity statistics from 2010 and we have improved! Our incidence of obesity went from 38% in 2009 to 36.9% in 2010. I congratulate you all on a job well done on making efforts to improve your health and wellness. Whether it’s by eating healthier, exercising more, or watching your portions, every little bit counts to help improve your health and wellbeing.

I have included a picture of a South Dakota sunset from last week on my bike ride. This really makes me appreciate living in a beautiful state (despite our winters)!
